e.g. there are many ways, but I'd do it like this: any{ movie }{ n in ['Firefly'] } :idea: The movie binding will throw an error if the object at hand is not a movie, and so all Movie type objects evaluate to true and thus all Movie type objects are included. The remainder of the code is the series...

I added a list of tv shows (that seem to consistently be incorrectly matched) in my includes file to set FB straight, unfortunately if I download something else, a movie for instance, that's NOT in the includes list, it is not acted on. I really don't want to have to add a movie to the includes list...

:?: What would be the construction for a --filter that had both includes and excludes, by referencing two different text files? :?: Also, it looks like the command you give above gets the ID from TheMovieDB by default So how do we specify on the command line which database to get the ID from in orde...

Thanks..

Any work around?
Any ideas why fb had an issue with “True Things 2021” and matched it to “Terrible Things 2021” ?

I have a post-download filebot shell script that missed some pretty simple file names (will give example below). It was set to -non-strict mode. In a recent post Red said to use strict mode if the file is being matched incorrectly. Tried that once and the mp4 file was matched correctly but the subti...

Wish I had received this simple bit of information as an option :x I have struggled with this for a very, very long time and received overly complicated advice . Appears to be much easier to implement in my AMC script. What's happening now is a series is downloaded named with the correct production ...

`exiftool' will provide metadata for .epub. :?: Regardless of renaming... how does one move a file that has a certain tag to a different directory if it is not a movie, series, music? Right now software, eBooks, and audiobooks all get sent to my "Unsorted" directory. :?: Are there options ...

@rednoah, That worked really well for those two series but everything else fails now, including movies. This is obviously far more complicated than just adding --filter and some arguments. It requires a complete rebuild of my script. Don't know why I was expecting it to only apply to shows that have...

Thanks for this. I am finally getting around to it again. :arrow: In this case, you'll want to use the --filter option to exclude "SNL Poland" , or include "Saturday Night Live" exclusively. Please read FAQ #2 for details. e.g. exclude "SNL Poland" --filter "none{ ...

Thanks for the help... I need a little more context for my use case. i am going to use an external file but that begs the question where do I add --file-filter so it only applies to movies or series and not music or books. If I only want filters to apply to --def seriesFormat and --def movieFormat o...

There is no all in one solution I think I should provide an example of what I am running into. filename is: Saturday.Night.Live.S47E06.Jonathan.Majors.720p.WEB.h264-KOGi[rartv] [2021-11-14 05:01:50.112] Run script [fn:amc] at [Sun Nov 14 05:01:50 CST 2021] [2021-11-14 05:01:50.138] Parameter: minFi...

@kim
Thanks for sticking with me on this.
I am having more mismatches using this method on other shows when it’s just the name of the show and season. How would I only apply his method to certain troublesome shows like NOVA and not to other shows?

Is there a good reason why I shouldn't use it the way it is now?

Keeping the default save path as: And defining paths for files I don't want to end up in the default path.

why ? --output "/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1" from format /Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/ /Volumes/SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/ do this --output "/Volumes/" format PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/ SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/ Thank you for suggesting that. :?: ... Since I am using --conflict i...

Kim, This is my modified AMC script. I believe I added the mapper option correctly - please check. I also prepended order.airdate. to my series format definition. Is there something I am missing... { /usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1" \ --actio...

First time I tried this :) It took a bit of time to get working because no "Absolute Airdate Order" but you need to use "Date and Title" maybe update page ;) https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6136 THANKS! Much appreciation. I will give that a shot. How are you are t...

I haven't worked much with my presets and with my advancing years that means much has been forgotten :? I have a shell script that works 99% of the time unless there is a misnamed file. Occasionally it's due to an incorrect year in a movie file name (off by 1 because of a release date discrepancy), ...

Thank you I’ll look at that when I get back. I use an AMC Script and rarely have to use the GUI. What I want is for Plex to show them properly. Proper name and proper season and episode are required. As it stands it’s less than automatic. I have to rename the files before FileBot gets a hold of them...

To be clear… The files I am getting are already named with the correct season and episode (from NOVA). They are then mapped by TVDB to the incorrect episodes when renaming with FileBot.

Last year season 47 of NOVA was shown out of series order. Meaning shows that were supposed to air later aired earlier or vice versa. This happens once in awhile and NOVA isn't the only series. TVDB has a policy that all shows on their site are listed in Aired Order which is fine, but then they modi...

Apparently filebot's "system.properties" is sensitive to case. this works: this caused filebot to not startup:

10/17/21_13:24:52 /Users/john $ filebot -script fn:history Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.filebot.Logging at net.filebot.Main.main(Unknown Source) 10/17/21_13:26:08 /Users/john $ filebot -script fn:history /Users/john/.filebot/his...

Thank you. That takes a long time to run with 34,000 lines of history. I don't think basename is meant to be run that way? real 0m22.386s user 0m11.157s sys 0m14.146s The following gets me what I want in a readable format. (On macOS it requires GNU sed / gsed ).

Description: FileBot keeps an internal history of all rename operations in case you want to revert files to their original names or just want to find out the original name of a given file. Here's a script to help with that. Print old and new names in rows for easy comparison: filebot -script fn:his...

Here's what the call stack would look like: 1. qBT calls your qBT_e-program.sh 1.1. qBT_e-program.sh calls filebot 1.1.1. filebot -exec calls your delete-srt-files.sh passing along the destination {folder} as Argument $1 1.1.1.1. delete-srt-files.sh calls find "$1" ... e.g. -exec /path/to...
